A salty pool – a small swimming pool located very close to the other two pools with water temperature 33º C. It is salty because salts from Dead Sea are added to the water in order to help regenerate the skin, making it more vital and elastic.

Salt hall (relax zone) built with Himalayan salt bricks. This is the only halotherapy salt hall – a magical place designed as relax zone to the pool with tender and calm background music. The golden brown soft light in the salt hall comes from the walls made of bricks of 100% natural Himalayan salt. Dry aerosols emitted by the Himalayan salt when it is warmed have strong antiseptic action. When inhaled, fine salt particles absorb liquid (mucus) from the nose and sinus and take them out of the respiration system. The remedy effect of halotherapy in cases of respiratory and dermatological diseases is proven to affect positively the psychological disorders. In addition, salt crystals neutralize the electromagnetic smog which is accumulated as a result of the excessive daily use of mobile phones and computers. 50 minutes of therapy in a salt hall is equal to 4-hour walk in a pine forest.
